THE TOP 5 THINGS TO DO IN BAJA CRUISE

Las Canadas Canopy Tour

Some people say that the Canopy Tour in Las Canadas Park is the best activity in all of Ensenada. The Canopy Tour includes the entire park, along with its several suspension bridges, steep walkways, and high ziplines. Come winter, only the zipline is open—but it is still worth it.

Visiting the La Bufadora

This one is a unique marine geyser or blowhole lying on the Punta Banda Peninsula. Just the road journey to La Bufadora through Baja California is an unforgettable adventure in itself. When you get there, the walkway gets dotted along the edges with several vendors who sell traditional Mexican items like blankets, ponchos, maracas, and slingshots.
